Ms. Free Speech strikes again. This marks the beginning of the end of 60 Minutes and Bari Weiss is a hack whose only skill is ingratiating herself to billionaire fascists. What a proud life. www.pbs.org/newshour/nat...

Looking forward to Nick Bosa's one man show, "A Salute To Interpretive Dance And Repressed Sexuality" at the newly named Don't Talk About Epstein-Kennedy Center

When James Woods is the sane, empathetic one in sharp contrast to the President - what an asshole for what he said - we have a problem.

The Cuban Missile Crisis but trying to nuke the files that connect you to the worst child rape ring of the century.

New piece of Ali outside Chilo’s, best bar/best tacos in Brooklyn. Relaunching December 28th!

Wrote this. On what Hanukkah means to me and the shsmeful exploitation of the massacre at Bondi Beach www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Got a piece coming out today about how my mom did Hanukkah when we were growing up, Bondi Beach,& the exploiters of the dead in the name of more bloodshed. Hate will come, but largely from bots. We have to remind ourselves that social media is not a town square but a psyop aimed at silencing us.

Just a reminder that at least 600 Americans were fired for failing to show sufficient respect after Charlie Kirk's murder.

Al Pacino is the ultimate "he's a little dude but you never think of him as little" actor because (at his best) he has the heart of a f***** lion. That's how I feel about Julia Garner. I've texted this before, but she is this generation's Pacino: the world's tiniest volcano.

It's been just over a year. But on occasion of Tony Dokoupil's selection as anchor of CBS Evening News, it *really* is worth watching these 5+ minutes of his exchange with Ta-Nehisi Coates. Especially for the quality of TNC's responses. Worth your time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgWt...

Casey Wasserman is the nepo-baby in charge of the 2028 Summer Olympics in LA. Protest this man’s steps, please.

Big news no one is covering. My latest - along with Chuck Modiano - for @thenation.com "FIFA and UEFA Presidents Are Accused of Aiding Israel’s War Crimes". The complaint is being filed with the ICC in under two weeks. This does explain that FIFA Peace Prize a tad. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Yesterday my book on Howard Zinn, "The People's Historian", out 8/26, was made available for preorder from the publisher's website. Preorders often determine how much stores `get behind a book so if ya like my work, or dig on Zinn, please consider an early buy. penguinrandomhouse.com/books/724993...

The folks who complain about participation trophies are out here getting participation trophies.

The fact that Trump thinks this actually means something is incredible

I lived in the Twin Cities. Just wanted to highlight one sliver of this: the gall of a cable news-addict shit-posting meeting-napper talking about anyone’s work ethic is so absurd. The most slothful Somali slacker in Minneapolis works harder than any of this orange idiot’s kids. How dare he.

Don Trump, Narcoterrorist.

By murdering **alleged** Venezuelan drug smugglers, Trump is really just eliminating the competition.

"Disruptors" never disrupt the gouging of the poor to line their pockets. On that question, they are as dull as drying paint. Disrupt the dominant paradigm and call for a real social safety net. That would be a lot more rebellious than trying to reintegrate r***rd back into the national vocabulary.

Say what you will, but the death agony of capitalism is great at producing irony.

10/10. No notes. There are lots of reasons why public safety, law enforcement and access to justice in DC should evolve and improve. None of them involve the National Guard or heavy weapons.

Thank you, Dave. You're 100% right

I can hardly wait for this one

So my book about Howard Zinn’s outsized life comes out August 2026. That’s now official. If you want me to come to your bookstore/library/community center/house party to talk about Zinn’s life and and what teaches us about how to beat back the bastards, please email [email protected]

When Elphaba says to Glinda that she needs to be wicked so Glinda can be good, they are biting the Scarface steez! “You need people like me, so you can point your fuckin’ fingers and say, ‘That’s the bad guy.’ So, what that make you? Good? You’re not good. You just know how to hide. How to lie!”

Isn’t this something that should be investigated? What are the details related to this pardon? Who requested that a pardon be considered on behalf of Juan Hernandez. What documents, emails exist? Was anything of value offered? Who was involved in the process?

Bong Joon Ho hit me up for the squad you legend deadline.com/2025/11/bong...

someone’s having a nice safe thanksgiving in his military housing while the service members who he dragged to DC are getting shot for his fascist bullshit

The biggest con in contemporary politics is Gender-Conservatives calling trans women perverts and rapists while constantly, and I mean constantly innovating new ways to sexually harass us on a mass scale.

Marshal!

Nobody like Moses! Most underrated player ever? There's a strong case. Most appreciated mentor ever? Also a strong case.

How can Vanity Fair not fire Olivia "Worst Thing To Happen To Media Since Roger Ailes" Nuzzi at this point? Look at the journalistic ethics they are rewarding. They are cutting their industry's throat if Olivia "Worst Thing To Happen To Media Since The 1996 Telecommunications Act" remains employed.

🤣

This is what happens when you're married to Mr. Magoo

I'm sitting with this note. Really sitting with this one. Sweet Lord.

Reposting this. I'm just so disgusted by what used to be sports media. More interested in betting lines than player suicides. That's not a hot-take opinion. We have the data here. It's a fact. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Heard about this from people on the scene. The thugs had tails between their legs. If you were born in the USA and aren’t in a rapid response network, you’re doing anti-fascism wrong.

Is it a threat to free speech when the President of the United States threatens to yank the broadcast license of a channel whose reporters are asking him challenging questions? I ask because I feel like there used to be tons of pundits worried about free speech. Where'd they go?

There is no more stark testament to the very real damage done than this: "Two legendary footballers—Hall of Fame linebacker Junior Seau and Chicago Bears safety Dave Duerson—shot themselves in the chest so their brains could be studied for CTE, which can only be conclusively diagnosed postmortem."

Ronaldo is the avatar of sportswashing scumbaggery. MBS should be in cuffs, frogmarched into a federal prison on capital charges. And Jamal Khashoggi's family deserves so much better than that grifting, grasping, child-raping, orange piece of trash who lives in what used to be The White House.

More interested in betting lines than the players suffering outside the lines. What a moral sewer. My latest for @thenation.com "Sports Media - cough, ESPN - Has Forgotten About CTE Even After Player Deaths" www.thenation.com/article/soci...

She has never served as a prosecutor in any capacity and her only previous experience in government has been efforts to get exhibits removed from the Smithsonian for being insufficiently patriotic. Just the best and brightest over here.

The US Attorney who seems set upon redefining fascist incompetence - Lindsey Hallligan - has set back broadcast journalism majors and Miss Colorado also-rans by decades.

Matthew Rhys is an insanely good actor. Generationally good. Cast him in the Heat remake good. I met him and it took a minute to place him because he carries himself differently than in any of his most famous roles. The chameleons who barely need makeup like Rhys, Cheadle or Colman are my favorites.
